Who exhibits and what you should know
EuroTier brings together exhibitors from breeding, feed, technology, biofuel and animal welfare sectors. If you export animal feed, breeding technology, veterinary solutions, handling equipment or farm management software, this is where German and European livestock producers look for suppliers.
Germany is the largest agricultural market in Europe and a net importer across multiple chapters. Fruit and nuts imports reach USD 16.3 billion annually; vegetables USD 9.8 billion; food industry residues and by-products USD 7 billion. This reflects strong demand for raw materials and inputs for the livestock and food production chain.
The fair is organized by DLG, the Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft, a statutory body representing German agriculture. Exhibitors are typically B2B; visitors are farm managers, cooperative buyers, retailers and industry professionals rather than consumers.
Common questions about EuroTier
When and where does EuroTier take place?
EuroTier 2026 runs from 10–13 November at Messegelände Hannover in Germany. The fair is held biennially, so the next edition after 2026 will be in 2028.
What should I exhibit if I sell animal feed or breeding technology?
Feed additives, premixes, protein supplements, mineral feeds, and production equipment dominate the fair. Breeding genetics, genetic testing services, and animal health monitoring technology are strong categories. Visit eurotier.com to review exhibitor lists from recent editions and identify direct competitors and adjacent players.
Is there a minimum booth size or commitment?
Contact DLG Service GmbH directly through the official website. Booth sizes, stand fees and deadlines for Spanish exhibitors follow DLG's standard terms, which typically require advance payment and compliance with building and safety rules.
What certifications do I need to bring samples?
Animal feed samples must meet EU import and labeling requirements; machinery and equipment must carry CE marking. Food safety certificates and origin documentation are standard. Request the exhibitor manual from the organizer for the full checklist per product category.
How do I find buyers or distributors at EuroTier?
Pre-register as an exhibitor and request the visitor list or use the fair's matchmaking service if available. Many buyers pre-schedule visits; confirm meetings before the fair. Follow up within 48 hours of each meeting with a summary of what you discussed and next steps.
